    Balance

    We use the word balance a lot as Christians. We love God, but we also want to enjoy our lives. Nothing wrong with that. In this episode, Adaaliyem thinks out loud about whether balance can sometimes become a nicer word for keeping certain parts of her life away from God. She reflects on freedom, conviction, surrender and what it means to live as one whole person before God. Maybe Christ was never meant to be one side of a balanced life. Maybe He is meant to be at the centre of the whole thing.

    The Undecided - Surrender

    Some things stay on our minds because there’s something we need to do. But what happens when we’ve done what we can and the outcome still isn’t ours to control? In Part 2 of The Undecided, Adaaliyem is thinking out loud about surrender, the timelines we quietly create for God, and learning to have peace even when we still don’t know what happens next. Because sometimes the open tab doesn’t need more thinking. It needs surrender.

    The Undecided — Actions & Boundaries

    Sometimes the thing exhausting us isn’t how much we have to do, but how much we’re carrying because we haven’t decided what to do with it. In this episode, Adaaliyem talks about the things we leave hanging in our minds. The unanswered message. The unfinished task. The decision we’ve been circling. The boundary we know we need to set. How overthinking can masquerade as progress, and what happens when we stop analysing and finally respond. This is Part 1 of The Undecided.

    After The Applause

    After a podcast launch filled with messages, reposts and celebration, Adaaliyem considers the quieter work that begins when the announcement is over. This episode explores the difference between receiving encouragement and depending on it, the temptation to love the identity of doing the work more than the work itself, and the ordinary discipline required to keep building.

    Before There Was Evidence

    When Adaaliyem released her podcast, some of the people closest to her celebrated as though they were recognising something they had been waiting to see. Their joy opened a reflection on the people who notice substance before it finds a public form, the quiet years in which God preserves what is not yet visible, and the responsibility to offer our gifts back to Him. This episode honours faithful encouragement while keeping the source, growth and glory with God.

    I Retrieved My Princess

    A familiar and convenient community made it easy to assume that everything was fine. Then one ordinary decision to look more closely changed the arrangement - and opened a larger reflection on parenting, discernment, delegated care and community. In this episode, Adaaliyem explores what it means to retrieve not only a child, but also her own attention, authority and responsibility.

    Redeemed

    A congratulatory message about this new podcast led me into an unexpected moment of gratitude and worship. As I reflected on God’s mercy and the changes I could see within me, one word surfaced strongly in my heart: redeem. I knew the word, but why redeem, and why then? In this episode, I think out loud about what I discovered when I followed that word into Scripture.

    When Planning Becomes Hiding

    What if some of the things we call preparation are actually hiding places? I went from “I think I want to start a podcast” to a finished, published episode in about ninety minutes, I was forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: perhaps I haven’t always needed more time. Sometimes, I’ve simply been afraid to release the work. In this episode, I reflect on perfectionism, the cost of overthinking, and learning to recognise when preparation has stopped equipping me and started protecting me from being seen.

    When You Know There Is More Inside You

    What if you know there is something valuable inside you, but you don’t feel fully ready to share it? In my very first episode, I reflect on learning to use my voice, beginning before everything is perfectly arranged, and giving what is inside me somewhere to live.
